Featured review
One of the most graphically unsettling movies I've ever seen
Manages to instill in the viewer a true sense of claustrophobia and unease. The violent scenes are some of the most graphic i've ever seen and especially the scene with the guard in the cage gives me the shivers of impending dread whenever i watch it. Also the use of tattoo as punishment is another horrible thought. Cave is brilliantly unhinged in his role and the scenes of him drawing on the walls in his own blood will be oddly believable to anyone who ever saw some of the more ferocious birthday party gigs of the early 80s.
A truly original movie that is only half the film that Cave's script was meant to portray........
The soundtrack (by Cave etc) is also brilliantly effective Can we have a DVD release please?
